    Awesome work berrme and cherished!! Tinsel - good work on not gaining when you've been off the wagon. Snack - I hope you are feeling better and that you can get out today in the cooler weather!

    AFM - I lost 0.5kg this week so am 65.2kg. I was hoping to hit 65 for my next goal reward but oh well that will have to wait until next week. I really want to be 64 for Christmas but it has been so hard to get through the 65's that I'm not sure if I can do it. I am trying to mix up my exercise to get things moving more and I did a pump class yesterday. I can barely move today and can hardly lift my baby

    Cherished, way to come back after last week!! You will be at 65 in no time!!

    Nai, you sound like me... I am really starting to think I am just supposed to be 65 and no less. It was really quite easy to lose the weight until I got to 67, then it got hard. The heat isn't helping, and xmas really isn't the best time to lose weight. Oh well, there are a few weeks left before xmas and not too far left to get to 64, lucky I didn't say I would get to 62.

    Snacks, hope you had a good time at your BB get together, and you stayed on the wagon.

    Tinsel, I hope you found the right gear for your butt. I like the sound of the Wii for exercising but my boys would never leave me alone to work out. Looking forward to hearing about your next loss.

    AFM, I fell off the wagon big time in the name of helping a friend celebrate her engagement. I wasn't very well on Sunday morning and I was left wondering why I ever drank that much. I think I might have to concede I am too old for that now. Anyway, hopefully another 2 days is long enough for my weight to settle, I am really hoping to still see a 64 on Wednesday.

    Hi all.
    Cherished - you make exercise sound so serene and wonderful, LOL! So pleased for you.
    Nai - well done on the loss and the pump class. Hopefully those last couple of hundred grams remove themselves easily this week for your reward!
    Berrme - Thanks, I had fun yesterday. And I didn't do too badly with my eating. Sorry about the after effects of the big night out! I must admit, I can't stay up too late or have many drinks these days. I am just way too knackered the next day! Hope you are feeling better today. Fingers crossed for you for Wednesday.

    I am pleased with my stats this week. I have been all over the place with my eating though, so don't know how sustainable it all is. But will keep doing my best.
    Weight: 74.1
    B: 95
    W: 87.5
    H: 102
    I overate tonight at dinner Feel like such a loser, so heavy in the tummy and uncomfortable. Serves me right.

    Snacks lol yeah it was actually really great! kicking in the ocean hardly seems like a workout, it was lovely, anyone near a beach should give it a try Plus it does stop overeating during the day cause you don't want to get a stich

    Nai 1/2 a kg loss is fantastic, if you look at my stats that's pretty much what I have averaged and I am slowly getting there, well done hon

    berme good luck with your weight in tomorrow I hope the celebration doesn't show up there

    AFM now I hope this isn't over kill but OMG this morning I was 67kg wooohooo so I've lost 600g in 1 day YAY! and officially lost 5.4 kg's and get to move my ticker along

    Yay, I managed to stay at 64.8 this week. I saw 64.6, but then I had a drink. I will stick with no change at all and aim to get close to 64 by next Wednesday.

    Cherished, I hope that 600g stays gone.

    Snacks, thankfully I didn't feel terrible for too long. The panadol and maccas got it under control by lunchtime. Thanks for your concern. I really don't expect any when I have inflicted the pain on myself. lol.

    berme no such luck I only had that one day of seeing 67 and it has slowly crept up to 67.4kg AF is due tomorrow but I hope she stays away and I get a BFP instead! at least I know why I'm heavier again and if it at least stays below 67.6kg I will record a loss this week Ahhhhh I so wish I was down to 64kg already! so jealous

    So I went to the beach again today and have got the best tan now!!!! feeling so good about myself and confident and sexy which is something I haven't felt in about 5 years now, to hell with being out in the sun a people telling me it's 'bad' I am embracing a summer of feeling fab not flab! I still feel so motivated and am very proud of myself.... 4 weeks until christmas!!!!!!!!!!! I will have to keep loosing at least 500grams a week to reach my goal

    OK so today is my weigh day and I ended up on 67.3kg which is still a loss of 300grams so I can't complain especially as I'm expecting my period... But still disappointing seeing I saw 67kg's earlier in my week. I do feel great though and like I've lost weight especially around my stomach.

    Sounds like it has been a tough week in here! I just weighed in and lost 0.2 so am 65.0 I don't think I am ever going to get to 64. I guess I should be happy it was a loss, especially as I had a bit of a big weekend - although it's not going to get any easier between now and Christmas with all of the parties and catch ups!

    Hi everyone. I am on a big plateau at the moment. My weight isn't going anywhere. Even though I have still been pretty good with exercising the eating part seems to be really hard. I think it might be due to a lot of work stress. I need to get back on the wagon but am too tired!
    Hope you guys are doing better than I am at the moment!

    It hasn't been a week for big losses, that is for sure. I am down another 200g, so am now 64.6kg. I lost 1 cm off my hips, but nothing else has budged. I have decided that my thighs are never going to get any smaller, they are getting quite toned now, but no smaller.
    I really want to get to 64 before xmas so I really need to get stricter to see some more movement next week!!

    Similar story here too. I am exactly the same as I was last week and my motivation is dwindling but I only have 2 more workouts on my Wii Active to finish the 30 day challenge so I am determined to finish that this week.

    I was hoping for a 5kg loss before xmas but 3kg so far has been great to fit back into my clothes properly. My favourite jeans are still a bit tight so hopefully it won't be too much longer before I get back into them.

    Krysalyss - work stress is bad. Hope it eases up soon and you aren't so tired anymore.

    berrme - you will get to 64kg for sure. You sound determined and it is only 600g (although I know how hard it is to shift so I shouldn't so 'only').

    Nai - congrats on the loss.

    Snacks - doh! It sneaks up quickly and hopefully it goes just as fast or maybe the scales were wrong?

    cherished1 - good work. I would love my tummy to be getting smaller but it feels bloated these last couple of days, and looks it too.

    How's everyone else going?

    Tinsel I was just so happy to fit back into the fav jeans! even if it was with a long top over my butt and you can still knock another 2kg off in the next 3 weeks

    Krys dont plateau's suck!!!

    snacks any chance that gain is just fluid?

    Nai be happy with 65 hon it's a great achievement, you will get down to 64 soon

    berrme you can totally get to 64 before christmas!!!!

    AFM still feeling really motivated and tomorrow it will be 3 weeks till christmas!!!!! gosh I'd love to loose a kg a week! than I'd be in the 64's too

    lol, Cherished, I keep saying the same thing about 3kg before xmas. 62 is my ultimate goal, but I don't think I have enough motivation for 1kg per week. I would really need to do some running for that, and it has just been too hot!!

    That isn't the right attitude though,
    c'mon girls (and guys, where are you?), we can do it! Lets move those last couple of kilos so we look super hot for santa. Or for ourselves and the people around us that actually exist.

    Pain is temporary, pride is forever. (Someone quoted that at me once, I don't buy it. )

    Awesome work Cherished!! I also weighed myself today and I cracked it! I am 64.5 - how did I lose 0.5 in the last 4 days?? Maybe I should weighin on Fridays!

    Berrme - I think I will have to take that quote with me until Christmas

    Tinsel - maybe you will have a big loss this week.

    Krys - you can do it babe! Mix it up a bit this week and do something different. That might help kick start things again.
